I don't know that I have many goals. I hope to get Alyssa and Tylor's room switched and painted. We are half way into transisting Alyssa's room into Tylor's. We have primer up and I need to go get the paint. THen on to Tylor's room becoming Alyssa's.

I hope to get my house in some order again as moving the rooms around has furniture all over the place :lol:

This month we hope to get through Easter and find out my friend is pg if all goes well also!


We got Tylor in his new room and it is painted so one down..one to go.

I have also really been working hard on getting some order to the house and can say I am proud of my downstairs :lol:

I had a doctor's appointment on my knee today, some X-rays were taken, but since it is soft tissue damage it will need an MRI, I will have that next Tuesday. :woo:

I'm done with my class and my sanity is mostly intact. :silly:

We have tickets to Colorado. Reed is flying out a few days before me so I can sign Katie up for preschool, so I get to fly by myself there and back. :bliss:

Our yard is looking better, the mower is back, but the landlord forgot to bring the seed the last time he came over.
